A Prominent Citizen and a Society Leader
Shot Under Compromising circumstances
NASHVILLE, TENN, May ID. B.
Hotchkiss, young man about thirty
years of age and head of q wholesale
hardware firm here, was wounded last
night in a difficulty next door to the
house of his mistress. He and the owner
OF the premises upon which he had en-
tered to get bucket of water had warm
words, which resulted in a resort to
pistols. Five shots were exchanged at
short range. Hotchklss was shot in the
side and bullet perforated his hat The
other man, whose name is Wilhelm, was
not struck. The wounded man walked
to the room of his mistress, VINO lives
in the suburbs Of the city in strict retire
ment, and two physicians were summoned.
Every effo1t was made to conceal his
identity, ne going so far as to beg to be
removed out of the city in his precari-
Gus condition, which was cut of the
question. His phYsicieG5 were put under
oath to conceal his name, but they were
unable to prevent the press from discov-
ering it. The news created great ex-
citement. He is handsome, wealthy and
popular man, and strong in financial
circles as well as in society, where he is
q leader in fashionable circles. He WAS
engaged to a beautiful young lady, a
member of one of the pr0udest families in
the state. His condition is such that he
cannot be removed to his residence, and
he now lies at the home of his mistress.

Saturn and Venus During May.
Providence Journal.


Saturn is evening star. Though ex-
ceeded in size and brilliancy by Venus
and Jupiter, we give him the place OF
honor on the planetary records for May,
for, after the passage Of this month, his
light will grow dim among the brother
hood, owing to his near approach to the
great luminary. Saturn also figures in
the most interesting planetary event OF
the month. On the 30th, at MONDAY,
Saturn and Venus are in conjunction, the
ringed wonder of the skies being at that
time deg. Is min. south of the fairest
of the stars. A powerful telescope Will
bring out the planets at the time OF
conjunction, or at the moment when
they are in the same right ascension,
but observers with the unaided eye will
find it lovely picture painted on the
celestial canvass on the evening Of the
29th and seth. On the former evening
Saturn will be east of Venus, and on the
latter evening he will be west OF her.
The meeting and passing Of, two large
planets is always noteworthy event. The
moon on the day of her first quarter will
lend her silvery light to the scene, and
the two bright planets will hang side
by side in the western sky, coming

themselves as greatly pleased with all of

sETHE DEVILS CODE"
A Curious Legend Concerning the Largest
MS. in the World.
Pail Mall Gazette


MS. in the World.
Pail Mall Gazette.
The Royal Library at Stockholm con-
tains a remarkable literary curiosity called
the s'DeviI's Cede," which is said to be
the largest manuscript in the world.
Every letter in this gigantic piece of work
is as beautifully formed as if it were
infinitely and carefully drawn, and it
seems almost impossible that it should
have been done by a single human
being. "Tne DEVILS Code" was brought
to Sweden from Prague after the thirty
years war, and the Deutsche Hsusfrauen
Zeitung tells the following story of its
origin: A poor monk who had been con-
demned to death W.. old that his SEN
tence would be committed if he were
able to copy the whole of the code
in q single night. Relying on the
imposslbility of the task his judges fur
nished him with the original, pen and
ink, and left him in his Well-barred
prison. A drowning man catches at q
straw to save himself, and the unfortu-
nate monk began to try his last impOssi-
BILE task with the vain hope of accom-
plishing it. Before long, however, he
saw that he could not save his life by
his own weak exertions. Afraid
of cruel and certain death, and perhaps
doubling the promise of better life
hereafter, he invoked the aid of the Prince
of Darkness, promising to surrender his
soul if he were assisted in his task. The
dark spirit appeared as soon as he was
called, concluded the contract, sat
down like any copying clerk, and the
next day the DEVILS Code was finished.

but the Times ia not of that number. If
it ever comes it will be by the Texas
Trunk, which line was bought to sell land
if the st. Louis, Arkans and Texas can
buy it, why, the Texas Trunk will become
its property. The railroad alluded to has
purchased short road southwest of Ty-
Ter. This has been the cause of the belief
that it has its eye on the Texas Trunk, but
why any such conclusion can be drawn is
not readily seen by the Times. 1t will
cost the road to get into Dallas, and be
on equal terms with the other roads in
depot and terminal facilities, at least
$l5O,O00. Property is high about Dali
las. It possesses the great lines of the
Gould, Huntington and Atchison and
Topeka. Property under these condi-
lions is bound to be high. The late
conner therefore has to pay high. The
city will not, cannot give any such sub
sidy. It is unreasonable to ask it and
would only provoke pooh-pooh. The
Missouri Pacific and other roads were
content with reasonable demands even in
cheap times. But they were after bust
ness, not bonuses; they got what they
came after, business, and reciprocated by
making Dallas what it is and raising the
price of property to a price beyond the
reach of Jim-crow and bonus-hunting
enterprises. The Times does not think
the st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas can
afford to come to Dallas Dallas Times.

Not Familiar with Tickets.

Ex-Secretary of War Lincoln, his
family and several friends were on their
way east from the slope few days be-
fore the inter-stste commerce law went
into effect. The had been out of San
Francisco two days, and were passing
through a rather rocky and dusty district,
when an Englishman got aboard the train
and entered the Pullman car. About
shutdown Mr.. Lincoln and his party
and the Englishman went out on
the rear platform to enjoy the even
ing breeze. The conductor joined them
a few moments after. The Englishman
went down into his pocket, pulled out
long string of tinted paper and handed it
to the ticket-puncher. "What's that?"
asked the conductor with an air of sur
prise. "Hi bought hit of your blawsted
company" replied the Englishman in
alarm. "And what do you call it?"
"Why, blawst your eyes, that's ticket;
cawn't you seer" $50 it Isl" drawled
the conductor, winding the string on his
arm. "It's the first one I've seen since
left Oakland, and I'd forgotten how they
looked. Beg pardon, sir."-[Chicago
